Trump Loses His Temper During Phone Call With Mexican President

Tentative plans for Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto to make his first visit to the White House to meet with President Trump were scuttled this week after a testy call between the two leaders ended in an impasse over Trump’s promised border wall, reports the Washington Post.

Peña Nieto was eyeing an official trip to Washington this month or in March, but both countries agreed to call off the plan after Trump would not agree to publicly affirm Mexico’s position that it would not fund construction of a border wall that the Mexican people widely consider offensive, according to WaPo.

According to the report, Speaking by phone on Tuesday, Peña Nieto and Trump devoted a considerable portion of their roughly 50 minute conversation to the wall, and neither man would compromise his position.

Who's side are you on RW? Who gives a damn that the Mexicans are offended? Mexico also has border issues with their southern neighbors and enforces immigration law. No libertardians in Mexico on the immigration issue.

Trump should tax the remittances going back to Mexico and Central America. Lots of money there for the wall.
